While not necessarily "Halloween" themed, for my money, this is one of the most frightening records ever made. Basically an exorcism into a microphone. I interviewed Henry Rollins for a fanzine in November of 1984. He told me that he recorded his vocals in the studio's lounge area (complete with couch and Coke machine) holding a Shure 58 mic in his hand, just like he would onstage. This allowed him more freedom of movement. The creaking sound you hear at the end of this song is Henry crumpled into the fetal position on the floor with his head banging against the leg of the couch. You then hear the Coke machine come on just before the tape cuts. — William DuVall (Alice In Chains)

Stereolab — “Come And Play In The Milky Night”: This one is more personal to me and literally transports me to October 31, 1999 every time I hear the opening atmospheric filtered synths. This is the closer of the ultimate Halloween album in my opinion (the cover is even orange and brown.) Laetitia urges all the children to come and play on the blasted heath of weird fog. Easy to picture cauldrons and bats and things. Orange and brown. — Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound)"

*TRICK OR TREAT: Stop bitching about Halloween candy already
I continued trick-or-treating well into my teens. And I wasn't one of those shit-headed cheaters who wore regular clothes and claimed to be a "serial killer" or whatever. I wore a costume. And maybe I could drive a car and maybe I was already smoking cigarettes, but I was still a child, for God's sake. Finally, when I was 17 and a senior in high school, I was turned away from a home for being too old.
I remember it so vividly. It was Halloween night and I was with two of my friends. I was dressed like a hula girl. I didn't say my costumes were creative. Anyway, I approached a house with a wide front porch, and when I went to plunge my hand into a bowl of candy left sitting out, a lady in a rocking chair in the shadows croaked, "Candy's for the kids." I looked up and smiled. "Are you serious?" I asked. "SERIOUS AS CANCER," the bitchwoman replied. Unnecessary to be rude. Doubly unnecessary to bring up cancer on a holiday.
That was more than a decade ago. And now I'm a grown woman and I can buy all the candy I want — whichever kinds I want — whenever I want. But, it's not the same, is it? Candy tasted better when it was free and we had to work for it. Aw, what little child prostitutes we were.
Still, just about every year, some blog or another publishes a list of the worst Halloween candies. Huffington Post did the honors this year in their piece, "12 Halloween Treats You Must Stop Tricking Us With." Their list is as follows ..."
